Re: Search in GitLab

I've used the site:gitlab.haskell.org trick on Google for some time. Recently (last month or so?) I've found that it's much less useful. I can't quantify this, other than the fact that I find myself frequently displeased with the result. It does seem that Google indexes our site less frequently than it used to, but again, I can't provide data. So I'm also unhappy with the current ability to search. There's not a way to request that Google index our site more often, is there? Richard

In google you can type:

site:gitlab.haskell.org http://gitlab.haskell.org/ "<<loop>>" Cheers, Sylvain

Does anyone know how to search better in GitLab.

Currently I’m using the standard GitLab search. I’m searching for

“<<loop>>”

where I intend the quotes meaning exactly that string as usual in a search term. But I get lots of results mentioning loop, without the angle brackets.

Moreover I want to sort the results by date or ticket number, and I can’t see how to do that.

Does Google index our repo? Can I use Google to search it somehow?

Thanks
